Speedy Pepper Forres in Mendip

New name and remodeled awesome view and great staff especially Andrew and Lisa But someone has to tell the kitchen manager or what ever he is that people eat fish and chips for dinner as well as for lunch. Why on earth would you fish and chips for lunch and not available for dinner as they do fries with the burger so why can’t they drop the fish in the oil as well. As much as I like the place it could be a game changer when picking a place for dinner.

Ive been trying to call to book a table for a big party of us wanting to visit for an evening soon. All I seem to ever get is the answerphone??

We visited Clark’s Shopping Village today and went into Frankie & Benny’s for lunch. We had 5 adults and a 1yr old. We ordered 4 main courses and three starters to have as a main course. We were asked if we would like the starters as a main and we said yes. The starters arrived but none of the other food did. We were told they were just waiting for the chicken and the other meals would be out. We looked at the pass and could see a main meal there that was the same as one of the ones we had ordered, but we assumed that was for another table. 15mins or so passed and the main meal was still there. They then put the rest of our meals up and bought all of the meals to the table. We queried the meal that had been sat on the pass for ages. They apologised and said they would take it back. Under 2mins later they arrived with what they told us was a new meal. We queried it again and we’re assured they had done us a fresh one. The meal was for my 74 year old mum, she assured us the meal was fine, but she does not like to make a fuss so we were not sure. Mum only ate half the meal, as she was worried it was still the same meal and we have a 2 hour drive home. My hubby tried her meal and he is convinced they just gave her back the same meal, as it came out far too quickly. They reduced our bill but the looks we were getting from the staff were not good. Why did they not just bring us the meal when it was ready as we already had one meal

The service at the bar was fast and friendly..and the Thai food, absolutely delicious! Probably one of the best Thai meals I've ever had. Had a Red Curry (vegetable) and Massaman curry and they were both divine! Would not hesitate to recommend this place, and hopefully we can return!

Wonderful stay at The Holcombe this weekend. A very warm welcome, excellent accommodation in a beautiful location, along with food that on its own is worth a visit to try. Lots of care was taken to make it a very special stay for us. We’ll be back again soon!
